Springfield Store Owner Shot During Aggravated Robbery

SPRINGFIELD TENNESSEE: (Smokey Barn News) – According to Springfield Police,  a Springfield store owner was shot several times Sunday evening in an apparent robbery attempt.

IMG_1859Police say that just a little after 10:p.m. a man ran in the door of the Korner Market, located on the corner of Main St and 18th Ave MAP, and pointed a gun at the clerk. Police say the clerk reached for the gun to try and push it away and the two went to the floor in a life and death struggle over the gun. The suspect fired the gun three times hitting the clerk two or three times in the upper thigh and hip area.

Police say the clerk is the store owner, Aliradhi “Ali” Alziyady, and is well known in the area. As he was being loaded into the ambulance a neighbor yelled out “We love you Ali” and Ali was able to wave back. Ali was transported to Skyline Medical Center in Nashville and was conscious and speaking to medics. UPDATE: Smokey Barn News has confirmed that Ali’s injuries are not life threatening.
